Sep. 17, 2008 - Recess

  I think I'm going to start blogging during recess time.  I've been trying to find the time now that school has started, but it just keeps slipping away.  I just had a friend make a comment on a blog post I did a while ago and I realized I hadn't posted in a long time.
  Today during recess time the kids played outside.  A friend came and got Ame' and they went to the library for story time.  When she brought her home, the mom and I visited and watched the other children run around outside.  The one year old is walking better now and he just walks and falls around the yard.  He gets dirty and he eats the dirt and he might eat an acorn or a leaf or chew on a stick, but it's all organic and he'll probably survive.  Besides, an adult conversation in the middle of the day is like recess for me.
  Anyway, the kids need to be outside.  The weather couldn't be better.  It is so beautiful.  The only outside trouble has been the mosquitoes.  They've been awful.  I'm surprised not more folks have come down with West Nile--maybe a new dreaded disease is being developed.  We'll call it Wet Mississippi Virus.

Well, I've been distracted long enough.  I have to get back to the newsletter, which is not coming along very well.  I guess I'm not in the mood this week--who knows.
